Report
HISTORY: 40 year old woman presented with palpable right breast mass.
Summary of prior imaging:
Mammography: Obscured 3.0 cm mass right breast 6:00 posterior depth
Ultrasound: None
Breast MRI: None
FINDINGS
Quality control issues: ☒None ☐Poor/lack contrast bolus ☐Poor fat suppression
☐Susceptibility ☐Movement ☐Other
Background Parenchymal Enhancement: Moderate
Amount of Fibroglandular Tissue: Extreme fibroglandular tissue
LEFT BREAST
Narrative
There is a 1.3 cm benign-appearing enhancing mass in the 11:00 middle depth. There are no suspicious enhancing masses. No axillary or internal mammary lymphadenopathy is seen. There is no abnormal skin, nipple, or pectoralis muscle enhancement.
Left breast lesion 1
Lesion type: Mass
1.3 cm. Upper inner Quadrant. 11:00 Radian. 6.0 cm from the nipple
Mass/post-surgical change: Shape:Oval/lobulated. Margins:Circumscribed. Enhancement: Homogenous. Kinetics: delayed-Progressive
Associated findings LEFT: ☒NONE, ☐Nipple retraction, ☐Nipple involvement, ☐Skin retraction, ☐Skin thickening, ☐Skin invasion-direct, ☐Skin invasion-inflammatory, ☐Pectoral muscle invasion, ☐Chest wall invasion, ☐ Architectural distortion
Non-enhancing findings LEFT: ☐NONE, ☐High ductal signal pre contrast T1, ☒Cyst(s), ☐Hematoma/seroma, ☐Post therapy skin/trabecular thickening, ☐Non-enhancing mass, ☐Architectural distortion, ☐Signal void from clips
Fat containing lesions LEFT: ☒NONE, ☐Fat necrosis, ☐Hamartoma, ☐Post-operative seroma/hematoma with fat
Lymph nodes LEFT: ☒Normal axillary, ☐Abnormal axillary, ☐ Abnormal internal mammary
RIGHT BREAST
Narrative
There is a 3.0 cm irregular heterogeneously enhancing mass 6:00 posterior depth containing a biopsy marker clip with susceptibility artifact. There is right internal mammary lymphadenopathy, the largest of which measures 2.9 cm. There are T2 bright oval masses in the middle depth consistent with simple cysts, the largest of which measures 1.5 cm. There is a 0.8 cm T2 bright, fat-containing mass in the right breast 7:00 middle depth likely fat necrosis.
There are no suspicious areas of non-mass enhancement. No axillary lymphadenopathy is seen. There is no abnormal skin, nipple, or pectoralis muscle enhancement.
Right breast lesion 1
Lesion type: Mass
3.0 cm. 6:00 Radian. 8.3 cm from the nipple
Mass/post-surgical change: Shape:Irregular. Margins:Not circumscribed-spiculated.
Enhancement: Heterogenous. Kinetics: delayed-Washout
Associated findings RIGHT: ☒NONE, ☐Nipple retraction, ☐Nipple involvement, ☐Skin retraction, ☐Skin thickening, ☐Skin invasion-direct, ☐Skin invasion-inflammatory, ☐Pectoral muscle invasion, ☐Chest wall invasion, ☐ Architectural distortion
Non-enhancing findings RIGHT: ☐NONE, ☐High ductal signal pre contrast T1, ☒Cyst(s), ☐Hematoma/seroma, ☐Post therapy skin/trabecular thickening, ☐Non-enhancing mass, ☐Architectural distortion, ☒Signal void from clips
Fat containing lesions RIGHT: ☒NONE, ☐Fat necrosis, ☐Hamartoma, ☐Post-operative seroma/hematoma with fat
Lymph nodes RIGHT: ☐Normal axillary, ☐Abnormal axillary: description, ☒ Abnormal internal mammary: IMLN present, the largest of which measures 2.9 cm
Extramammary findings: None
SUMMARY: Biopsy-proven right breast cancer with ipsilateral internal mammary adenopathy
LEFT BI-RADS: 2: Benign: Routine breast MRI screening if cumulative lifetime risk =>20%
RIGHT BI-RADS: 6: Known biopsy-proven malignancy: Surgical excision when clinically appropriate
RECOMMENDATIONS: Referral for multidisciplinary evaluation and care, in this case neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
